Crap Weather For June

For some reason I don't understand they've stopped putting weedkiller on the pavements so the weeds are flourishing. Couple of thistles opposite me are now 5 foot high and there's grass growing in the gutters.

Possibly because your council's contractors have been unable to work.

Why not? A bloke walks about spraying weedkiller, outdoors, on his own, not exactly high risk is it?

The barber shop, which is closed of course, has a hedge growing in front of the entrance. He's not going to be able to get in there when he comes back to re-open.

That calls for an HMHB lyric:

'Ground Control to Monty Don
The testimonial silver’s gone
The circumstance here’s pretty thin
The sun comes out when I go in

On the way home from spinning class she pops into the deli for artisan gossip. He stays in the car leafing through a high-end coffee bean catalogue. Their dream is to open up a roastery in the Keswick area…

Get your hedge cut
Get your fuckin’ hedge cut
Get your hedge cut
Get your fuckin’ hedge cut
Stop meeting friends
And cut your hedge

Why can’t you say “orangutan”?
Why can’t you just say “Ku Klux Klan”?
Who needs the library or the pub
When we’ve got your creative hub?

He got a Boardman bike on the Cycle To Work scheme, discovered he really enjoyed it. Started watching the Tour de France highlights on ITV4, worshipped at the altar of Wiggo and Froome-dog. Goes out every Sunday in full Sky replica kit…

Get your hedge cut
Get your fuckin’ hedge cut
Get your hedge cut
Get your fuckin’ hedge cut
Stop analysing Strava
And cut your hedge

It’s A Wonderful Life. It’s a wonderful film, but the more I watch it the more I want Potter to succeed. Not least when that lot up the road come out into the street every New Year’s Eve, drunk on Ptolemy’s hock, hugging each other and going “Hee-haw, hee-haw”…'

As predicted earlier now chucking it down

[Marco]

Send some down here Robin, ASAP, as it's *so* bloody humid and muggy!

[struth]

back to normal here. cloudy and overcast. about 10c.

[Marco]

YAY - it's PISHING DOWN like mad here (and has been since the early hours of the morning)!!

It just feels SO much better now, as it's reduced humidity and removed that awful mugginess in the air... Still warm though, at 15C, so we've got the kitchen door open, to let in the lovely fresh air, while listening to rain fail outside - no sweaty bollox, lurvely!!

Let's hope it continues like this for the rest of the day, and the lawn might begin to resemble a lawn again....

Finally some rain here as well. Started bout 3 oclock this morning till just after dinner. Sheep are happy again they have been hiding in shade last few days.

Stayed dry but cloudy all day, still hit 20c but doesn't look like that will last according to the forecast, but hit and miss if we'll get any rain.

[Pigmy Pony]

A cloudy 9C at the moment, but at least there's no wind. Set to reach about 14C, which for me is plenty for working outside.
